Some=maybe: From your parental heights,your predicted height would be 5'6". At sixteen, you may still have open growth centers and may have more to grow, but I would not expect a lot.. An x-ray of your wrist and hand can confirm open growth centers or show that you are done.A balanced diet, proper sleep, and regular exercise can give you the best chance.
